(201) During operation of the EPU–6/E frequency converter it is determined that E and F pin voltage is not needed for the aircraft. The operator places the loop/bypass/28V to aircraft switch to what position?
Correct Answer
C. Bypass.
Explanation
When it is determined that the E and F pin voltage is not needed for the aircraft during operation of the EPU-6/E frequency converter, the operator should place the loop/bypass/28V to aircraft switch to the "Bypass" position. This means that the voltage will bypass the E and F pins and not be used for the aircraft.

10.
(204) What prevents engine operation of an A/M32A–95 gas turbine compressor if oil pressure is low?
Correct Answer
B. Oil pressure switch
Explanation
The oil pressure switch is responsible for preventing engine operation of an A/M32A-95 gas turbine compressor if the oil pressure is low. This switch acts as a safety mechanism to ensure that the engine does not operate without sufficient oil pressure, which is necessary for proper lubrication and functioning of the engine. If the oil pressure is low, the switch will not allow the engine to start or continue running, preventing potential damage to the engine.
11.
(204) What prevents overpressurization of the bearing cavity on an A/M32A–95 gas turbine compressor?
Correct Answer
D. Oil tank vent line
Explanation
The oil tank vent line prevents overpressurization of the bearing cavity on an A/M32A-95 gas turbine compressor. This is because the vent line allows excess pressure to be released from the bearing cavity, preventing any potential damage or failure due to overpressurization.
12.
(204) The acceleration limiter valve on the A/M32A–95 gas turbine compressor operates a poppet valve to control fuel flow to the atomizer using control air pressure combined with
Correct Answer
C. Spring tension
Explanation
The acceleration limiter valve on the A/M32A-95 gas turbine compressor uses spring tension to control fuel flow to the atomizer. This means that the valve is designed in such a way that the tension of the spring determines the amount of fuel that is allowed to flow. When the control air pressure combined with spring tension is at a certain level, the poppet valve opens and allows fuel to flow to the atomizer. Therefore, the correct answer is spring tension.

Correct Answer
B. Oil pressure switch
Explanation
The oil pressure switch on the A/M32A-95 gas turbine compressor closes to complete the electrical circuit to the fuel solenoid and ignition unit. This means that when the oil pressure reaches a certain level, the switch will close, allowing the circuit to be completed and the fuel solenoid and ignition unit to be activated. This switch is an important safety feature as it ensures that the fuel is only ignited when there is sufficient oil pressure, preventing any potential accidents or damage to the turbine.

(206) While you are operating an MA–3D air conditioner, the output air temperature is too high, so you set the temperature control to maximum cooling. The temperature controller sends a signal to
Correct Answer
B. B7 which steps open to meter refrigerant into the evaporator.
Explanation
The correct answer is B7 which steps open to meter refrigerant into the evaporator. When the output air temperature of the air conditioner is too high, setting the temperature control to maximum cooling is necessary. In order to achieve this, the temperature controller sends a signal to B7, which then opens to meter refrigerant into the evaporator. This allows for more cooling capacity and helps to lower the output air temperature.
22.
(206) The temperature controller on an MA–3D air conditioner opens the hot gas bypass valve if the
Correct Answer
D. Suction pressure is too low so the boiling point of the refrigerant must be increased to increase the output air temperature.
Explanation
The correct answer is suction pressure is too low so the boiling point of the refrigerant must be increased to increase the output air temperature. When the suction pressure is too low, it means that there is not enough refrigerant entering the compressor. This causes the boiling point of the refrigerant to decrease, resulting in a lower output air temperature. By increasing the boiling point of the refrigerant, the air conditioner can increase the output air temperature and improve its cooling efficiency.
23.
(206) What component on an MA–3D air conditioner increases the ambient air temperature approximately 60 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)?

26.
(207) The engine on the MA–3D air conditioner is operating at 1250 revolutions per minute (RPM), but the blower clutch does not engage. What do you do?
Correct Answer
C. Nothing; this is normal operation. The blower clutch energizes at governed speed.
Explanation
The correct answer states that there is no need to do anything because this is considered normal operation. The blower clutch will only engage at the governed speed, which means that it will not engage until the engine reaches a certain RPM. Therefore, there is no issue with the blower clutch not engaging at 1250 RPM.

(208) What does frosting of a refrigeration system line or component indicate?
Correct Answer
B. Blockage
Explanation
Frosting of a refrigeration system line or component indicates a blockage. When there is a blockage in the system, the refrigerant flow is restricted, causing the temperature of the line or component to drop. This drop in temperature leads to the formation of frost on the surface. Therefore, the presence of frosting indicates that there is a blockage in the refrigeration system.
29.
(208) What type of refrigeration system leak occurs when the pressure within the system is less than atmospheric pressure?

(210) What causes the starter solenoid on the self generating nitrogen servicing cart (SGNSC) to disengage during normal operation?
Correct Answer
A. Alternator output
Explanation
The correct answer is Alternator output. The starter solenoid on the self-generating nitrogen servicing cart (SGNSC) disengages during normal operation when the alternator output is detected. This means that once the alternator is generating enough power, the starter solenoid is no longer needed and can disengage.
34.
(210) What component determines the speed of the nitrogen booster compressor on the self generating nitrogen servicing cart (SGNSC)?
Correct Answer
C. Programmable logic controller (PLC) circuit
